The Danish gambit accepted! An opening which I use on a regular basis. Although it gives two extra pawns to black, it is quite difficult for black to defend against whites extremely mobile pieces.

5... Nc6
This is not a standard line as far as I know. My opponent takes the game out of the opening books. I had to use my aggressive instincts to stay put.

6. Nf3 Bb4+ 7. Nc3 Nge7
Perhaps Nf6 followed by the plan of Ne4 is better!

10... Be7 11. Rad1
...With the idea of pinning the d pawn after my queen moves out of the d-file.

 
11... d6 12. Qh5
Keeping the queen in close proximity to the black king.

 
12... Bd7 13. Rfe1
Seeing that I'd have to make up my position before beginning the assault!

13... Qc8
This,in my view, is the first great error of my opoonent. It allows me to attack instantly.

16... Ng6 17. f5 Ne5 18. Bxe5
Now I destroy the knight which is the last defense of the king against the f-pawns advance!

 
18... dxe5 19. f6
The decisive advance!

 
19... g6
There is no other defense!

 
20. Qh6
Here my opoonent resigned because there is no defense for Qg7#. A good game. This is why I love the Danish gambit!
